Edgar Müller was born in Mülheim/Ruhr on 10th of July, 1968.
He grew up in the rural city of Straelen on the western edge of Germany. His fascination with painting began in his childhood, with paintings of rural scenes of Straelen.
Edgar went to high school in the neighboring town of Geldern, where an international competition of street painters took place. Inspired by the transitory works of art which met him on his way to school, Edgar Müller decided to enter the competition.
He took part for the first time at the age of 16, going on to win the competition, aged 19, with a copy of the famous “Jesus at Emmaus ” (Caravaggio).
In the following years, he entered many other international competitions. Since 1998 Edgar Müller has held the title of ‘maestro madonnari’ (master street painter), born by only a few artists worldwide. The title is awarded at the worlds largest street painting festival, called The Grazie Festival, which is held in the small pilgrim town of Grazie in Italy.
Around the age of 25, Müller decided to devote himself completely to street painting. He travelled all over Europe, making a living with his transitory art. He gave workshops at schools and was a co-organizer and committee member for various street art festivals. Müller set up the first (and so far only)
Internet board for street painters in Germany – a forum designed to promote solidarity between german and international street painters.
For many years Edgar Müller presented people the great works of old masters, drawing his perfect copies at the observers feet. Müller invited his audience to share his fascination with the old masters art, helping them to gain a deep understanding of the old masters view of the world.
Despite attending courses with well-known artists and extensive studies in the field of communication design, Edgar is actually an autodidact. He is always looking for new forms to express himself and is now pursuing a new art form and creating his own style.
Because of his grounding in traditional painting and modern communication, Mueller uses a more simple and graphic language for his art.
He paints over large areas of urban public life and gives them a new appearance, thereby challenging the perceptions of passers-by.
The observer becomes a part of the new scenery offered. While going after their daily lives, people change the statement of the paintings by just passing through the scene.

Sa peine, d’un mois de détention à l’origine, a été prolongée de 24 heures, les responsables de la prison ayant décidé de décompter le jour de l’incident du temps purgé en prison. Le détenu, qui a quitté la prison depuis, a expliqué au journal suédois qu’il était avant tout content de s’être débarrassé de sa rage de dent. “Maintenant il me reste à payer la note du dentiste”, a-t-il conclu.
